If no errors occur during the Start-up diagnostics, the activity light on the Control Panel
remains green at the end of the tests.
If an error occurs during startup, the activity light flashes red and remains on at the end
of the tests. The Control Panel then displays the Test Failed screen. Pressing the Details
line selection button in the Test Failed screen gives you more information about the
failing test.
5. If this is the first time you have started the RIP Station 5000, allow the system to
proceed to the Select Language screen, and select the language you want to use in the
Control Panel.
If you change the language setting, the RIP Station 5000 reboots when you press OK.
After rebooting, items in the Control Panel are displayed in the language you selected.
6. At the Setup screen, select Exit Setup.
To exit Setup, you must first enter Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup and
save changes. To skip through the setup options, press the menu key to access the Save
Changes screen and select Yes. This will configure each setup with the default
configuration. At this stage the default settings are adequate although they may not be
optimal. After the RIP Station 5000 is connected to the network and the printer, the
customer can reset options according to the network and user environment. For more
information, see the Administrator Guide.
7. Allow the system to proceed to Idle to confirm that the RIP Station 5000 is operating
correctly.
Once the RIP Station 5000 reaches the Idle state, you are ready to connect it to the
printer and the network. Setup options should be configured after making these
connections.
Connecting to the printer
After successfully starting the RIP Station 5000 by itself, you are ready to connect the
RIP Station 5000 to the printer. The RIP Station 5000 communicates with the printer
through a cable between the RIP Station 5000 printer interface connector and the
printer's interface port. The printer interface cable is supplied with the RIP Station 5000.
